Andrew Solomon: Depression, the secret we share
“Distaste for the idea of treatment…” prohibits us from living life to the fullest, prohibits us from helping people.
“There is this false moral imperative that seems to be all around us that treatment of depression, the medications and such are an artifice and that it’s not natural.”
“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and it was vitality that seemed to seep away from me in that moment.”
So true. Exactly what I have been experiencing and it is terrible.
